The Works of the Right Honourable John, Earl of Rochester / Consisting of Satires, Songs, Translations, and other Occasional Poems

by Earl of, John Wilmot Rochester

I.

I cannot change, as others do,
Though you unjustly scorn:
Since that poor Swain that sighs for you,
For you alone was born.
No, Phillis, no, your Heart to move
A surer way I’ll try:
And to revenge my slighted Love,
Will still love on, will still love on, and die.
